Allt sedan sitt genombrott på 1930-talet har den s.k. högkyrkliga rörelsen, eller bättre uttryckt Kyrklig förnyelse, på ett eller annat sätt eftersträvat ett betonande av offermotivet i mässans firande. Detta har inte minst framgått av de mässordningar som producerats inom ramen för rörelsen och av till rörelsen anknutna personer. Mässofferläran, som teorin traditionellt kallas, har diskuterats ocThe Swedish High Church movement has, ever since its breakthrough in the 1930s, in one way or another struggled to accentuate the sacrificial motif in the celebration of the Mass. This is something that especially can be noted in the missals that have been produced within the movement, and by persons connected to it. The doctrine of the Sacrifice of the Mass, as this theory is known traditionally,

Search engines have become a starting point to the Internet, and for the large majority, Google Search is the preferred choice. Research shows that users perceive search engines as neutral tools, or neutral platforms of information, when in fact search results per definition are ranked according to many different principles and regulations. Therefore, search engines are important gatekeepers of th

Genom kvalitativa intervjuer syftar denna studie till att ge en djupare förståelse kring vilk

Recently the National Commodity & Derivatives Exchange (NCDEX) and the Shanghai Futures Exchange (SHFE) introduced gold futures trading in India and China respectively. In developing markets like China and India it is important to manage risk. For the sake of choosing the optimal hedge strategy it is sufficient to understand and calculate the optimal hedge ratio.

In the NBER Working paper ”Measuring Economic Growth From Outer Space” it is suggested that 29 countries have reported GDP that differs from “true” GDP. In this bachelor’s thesis these countries are examined and a common denominator for them is sought after. None is found, but other interesting discoveries are uncovered hinting that the discrepancy from “true” GDP is not just noise. A connection i
Before the twentieth century, there was little concern with ship-source oil pollution at sea. Increase of shipping activities and in particular happening of disasters, the most important of which is the Torrey Canyon, alerted the thinking of legislators as to seriousness of the problem of marine pollution. The result of their efforts in private law domain was creating the Civil Liability Conventio
Uppsatsen handlar om det litterära talspråket, närmare bestämt om hur ungdomars talspråk gestaltas i ungdomsromanen Shoo len, av Douglas Foley. Jag utgår från befintlig forskningslitteratur om verklighetens ungdomsspråk och med speciellt fokus på multietniskt ungdomsspråk. Med en kvalitativ undersökning av romankaraktärernas talspråk beskriver jag hur Foley skapar ”sitt” ungdomliga litterära talsp
Canada’s total fertility rate declined steadily from its peak of 3.92 children per woman in 1958 to a low of 1.49 in 2000. Since 2001 however, Canada’s TFR has increased every year, resting at 1.66 in 2007. This increase has taken place in nearly every province, and coincides with a period when real estate prices increased for 37 consecutive fiscal quarters. Although numerous studies have focused
In this thesis a model for valuing an arbitrary collateralized loan obligation (CLO) is implemented. A CLO is a structured credit product whose performance relies on a pool of corporate loans. Valuation in the context of this thesis is the price on a CLO security and the distribution for the price. The major driver behind the performance of the loan pool is the default distribution among obligors.
Uppsatsen behandlar ansvaret för uppgifter i avtalsförhandlingar. Frågan gäller ansvaret i kommersiella förhållanden mellan två näringsidkare. Det händer ibland att en part ingår ett avtal under en förutsättning som senare visar sig vara felaktig. En uppgift som först presenterats kan senare visa sig vara felaktig. Tvisten kan sedan komma att gå till en domstol för ett avgörande. Tolkningsprincipe

The aims of the thesis are to investigate the estimation power and the normality of standardized residuals for Generalized autoregressive conditional heteroscedasticity models (GARCH). We facilitate the analysis by only dealing with GARCH(1, 1) models. We take use of MATLAB as the statistical programming tool for the simulation of the data and the estimation. We define the meaning of estimation
